Megyn, absolutely a joke... imagine if the average number of giveaway users say 10000 ALL took up this 6 month trial the service would be swamped with streaming and torrent traffic and the entire VPN service would grind to a halt but on the other hand if the VPN client software is an illegal distributed cryptocurrency miner they would not care as the users frantically switch servers trying to find one that is not saturated not realising their systems resources are being hijacked by a trojan.... I note the original comment #1 has been deleted and to the user that replied "Really?", before the comment was deleted, to my assertions YES REALLY! That's why I don't use obscrure VPNs to attempt to hide my activity online... If I am concerned about being spied on on a given connection I don't do anything I'd be concerned about being made public knowledge.
